Psalm 126

Psalm 126 – A Paraphrase

Here’s another great paraphrase of a Psalm that will prepare your heart for this Lord’s Day:

Let us begin this day by rejoicing!
Let us acknowledge our Lord’s love and concern
   and allow our bodies to break forth
   into happy hilarity!
Let us give our nerves and muscles
   the healthy exercise of laughter!
The Lord has done such wonderful things for us;
   Let us be glad!

The day before us is uncertain.
We know not what we will encounter on our way,
While we rejoice with those who rejoice,
   we shall also weep with those who suffer.
While we may be surprised by ecstasy,
   we may also pass through corridors of darkness.
Wherever we go, we go forth as sons and servants of the living God,
   and we go forth to touch the lives of men with His healing love.
Let us begin this day with rejoicing,
   and return to our homes with gladness!

Enjoy your day of worship, brothers. Today is all about HIM! – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick
